Title: LATTICE COCONUT-CUSTARD PIE
Categories: Pies
Yield: 6 servings

1 Baked 9″ pie shell
4 Eggs, slighlly beaten
1/2 c Granulated sugar
1/2 Teasp. salt
1 Teasp. vanilla extract
2 c Milk
1/2 c Shredded coconut
1/2 Teasp. nutmeg
1/3 c Semisweet chocolate pieces
1 Teasp. vegetable shortening

Several hours ahead: Start heating oven to 350ø F. To eggs, add sugar,
salt, vanilla, and milk; beat well. Add coconut. Pour into greased 9″ pie
plate that has been set in shallow baking pan; sprinkle with nutmeg. Set in
oven; into baking pan, pour enough hot water to come three fourths way up
side of pie plate. Bake 35 min., or till silver knife inserted in center
comes out clean. Cool at room temperature.

When shell and custard are cool, melt chocolate with shortening over hot,
not boiling, water. Meanwhile, slip custard into shell this way: Tilt
custard-filled pie plate a bit. With small spatula, gently pull custard
away from all sides of plate. To complete loosening, hold plate level with
both hands; shake gently. Now hold custard, tilted, over shell, with far
edge of custard just above and close to far edge of shell; shake gently. As
custard slips out, pull plate back toward you till custard is in shell. To
make chocolate top, dip metal or wooden skewer into melted-chocolate
mixture and draw it across top of pie in crisscross manner, dipping skewer
into chocolate as needed. Let settle a few minutes; then serve at once.

Title: PEKING DOILIES (AKA MANDARIN PANCAKES)
Categories: Chinese, Breads, Loo
Yield: 6 – enough f

1 1/4 c Flour
3/8 c Boiling water
1/8 c Cold water
2 ts Sesame oil

Mix flour and boiling water. Add cold water and knead
into a smooth dough. Let rest a few minutes. Roll out
into a baguette and cut into six pieces. Use a rolling
pin to flatten each piece into a 4″ pancake. Brush
each with a thin layer of sesame oil and place them
together in pairs, oiled sides together. Roll each
pair out until you have 6″ pancakes.

Heat a dry nonstick pan to medium-high. Drop in a
pancake pair and cook until golden bubbles form on the
underside, shaking the pan from time to time. Flip and
repeat for the other side. Remove and separate
pancakes. Fold into quarters and cover with a warm
damp towel until serving time.

This recipe may be doubled. Pancakes may be made ahead
and reheated by steaming (but they’re better fresh).
